RD Management Sells Former Kmart Property in Latham, New York

November 15, 2017

RD Management LLC, one of the nation’s largest privately held real-estate development and management organizations, has completed the disposition of its former Kmart property in Latham, New York. The Lia family acquired the 118,863-square-foot center.

The 12-acre parcel is located in Albany County at the busy intersection of Troy-Schenectady Road and Swatling Road with a two-way average daily traffic of 18,400 cars. Formerly anchored by Kmart, the property consists of an unoccupied 96,805-square-foot big-box space, more than 800 parking spaces, an available outlot, and a 22,058-square-foot Vent Fitness.

“As a company, we recognize that retail is evolving, and it is essential for us to diversify our portfolio and focus on key assets to stay ahead in this rapidly changing real estate environment,” said Richard Birdoff, principal and president of RD Management. “The disposition of our property in Latham is an example of this strategy. In the coming months, we plan to reinvest the proceeds of this sale into core markets and real estate sectors beyond retail.”

RD Management owns 26 properties in New York and has more than 150 properties in its national portfolio.
